About

Weibee Steel

Family owned and operated structural steel fabrication company based in Norman, serving all of Oklahoma

Weibee Steel was founded in 1987 by Mike Martin. After considering various names for his new company, he decided on “We Be Steel”, inspired by "Toys R Us". The original spelling was denied by City Council, so it was altered to “Weibee Steel”. Mike brought his technical expertise in the form of a bachelor degree in Architecture along with a Master of Construction Science to the steel fabrication industry in central Oklahoma. On that solid foundation he built a legacy that continues over 30 years later.

Mike’s wife, Sheri, helped him grow the business along with the client and employee base. The company is now the premier fabricator of metal structure for framing in the region and the state.

The Martin’s granddaughter, Keisha, took great interest in the business and learned the ins and outs from her grandparents while she was in high school and college. Similarly, Tony Cowart came to Weibee Steel as a part time employee in high school. He worked hard to learn the business which ultimately developed into a full time career.

Tony and Keisha were married in 2012 and now have two children. Since their marriage, the couple continued to grow their business experience and glean everything they could from the Martins.

As of 2017, when Weibee Steel marked 30 years in business, the Martins have officially retired leaving Keisha and Tony Cowart at the helm. The Cowarts are fortunate to have a loyal employee base, many of whom have been with Weibee Steel from the beginning. In addition, the company employs two full time detailers which means customers can be assured that their projects will progress smoothly and accurately.

Under the leadership of the next generation, Weibee Steel continues it’s commitment to fabricate and deliver the highest quality metal structure for construction projects in Central Oklahoma and beyond.

We are proud that many of our employees have served with us for many years.
